• - In Moraine Valley Community College's Mechanical Design and Drafting/CAD programs, you can gain knowledge and skills are needed for a good-paying job in industry, or you can prepare to transfer into a technical degree program at a four-year college or university.
    - The programs are designed for individuals just beginning a career in the mechanical design and drafting field or those already working in the industry who need to upgrade their skills.
    - Moraine Valley is on the cutting edge of computer-aided drafting (CAD), computer animation, computer graphics, mechanical drafting and design and more!

    - Mechanical drafters prepare drawings showing the detail and method of assembly of a wide variety of machinery and mechanical devices, indicating dimensions, fastening methods, and other requirements.
    - The **AutoCAD** software is generally used in converting the hand sketches, drawings and design data into **Mechanical 2D Drafting**.
    - In mechanical engineering, having a simple concept in mind can help in creating **2D Drawings** with great accuracy. The skills of our expert engineers are of great value in this process.
    - Latest techniques help in the development of the 3D models to a large extent.
    - Conversion from 2D mechanical designs to 3D models is carried out by Silicon Valley.

    - The computer-aided drawing (CAD) has gone from a 2-dimensional format basically reproducing what was done on paper, to a dimensional format in which parts can be classified in families according to the geometry of their make-up.

  • Mechanical or technical drawing have existed since mankind first began to build.
  • Throughout all of history, man has designed and constructed monumental feats of engineering using available technology.

  • The Industrial Revolution (1760-1850) was a period during which many technological advances were developed.
  • Industrial and agricultural advancements in machinery and automated tooling emerged at an incredible rate.
  • In today's technology driven business environment, most mechanical drawing is done by computer.
  • Though many industries may still rely on the occasional hand drawing, computer software is the primary medium used today.
  • Programs which preform mechanical drawing functions include AutoCad, microstation, CorelDraw, Vector works or Adobe Illustrator.
  • The principal benefit of these programs is that an object, once drafted in the program, can be turned and rotated on any axis with the click of a mouse.
  • This allows a single illustration to be viewed from numerous angles.
  • The advent of linear three point perspective improved upon the classical perspective invented during the Renaissance and allowed for tremendous advances in the technical and mechanical illustration fields.
